Definitions
- This invention relates to a forming maching for bricks, etc.
- the invention provides a new concept in reducing the excessively long time required for changing metallic molds in the conventional brick forming machines in order to achieve higher efficiency in brick production.
- the metallic mold sits on the metallic mold support and receives the brick material into its inside.
- the upper plunger is driven by a hydraulic cylinder placed on the upper center of the machine to press the brick material in the metallic mold between itself and the stationary lower plunger.
- the metallic mold support is driven by hydraulic cylinders mounted on the right and left columns of the machine to fasten the metallic mold while the brick is being pressed.
- FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional elevation of an embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a side elevation of another embodiment also partially in cross-section
- FIG. 3 is a cross section of FIG. 1 on the line III--III;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the whole metallic mold support.
- FIG. 5 is a plan view of the metallic mold transfer truck.
- the metallic mold (1) receives brick material supplied into it and it sits on the metallic mold support (4).
- the upper plunger (2) is driven by the hydraulic cylinders (9) mounted on the upper frame 6 of the machine through the pusher block (8) to press the material downwards in the metallic mold (1) between itself and the lower plunger (3) that is stationary.
- FIG. 2 there are two pairs of wedges (11) provided in front of and at the back of the metallic mold (1). Those wedges are driven by hydraulic cylinders (10) to advance and retreat. When they advance they engage the inclined faces of the protrusions on the front and rear sides of the metallic mold (1), so as to fix it by pressing it down.
- the metallic mold (1), and plungers (2) and (3) are of such dimension as to form a set of components fitted together, and they are as a whole movable in and out of the metallic mold support (4) rapidly as described below, which saves time in changing the metallic mold (1) and plungers (2) and (3) in the conventional forming machines for bricks, etc.
- the metallic mold support (4) is shaped a square frame with its one side open like the letter U laid flat on its face.
- the metallic mold (1), upper and lower plungers (2) and (3) form a combination of components put together beforehand in the operation of the machine and they are placed inside the metallic mold support (4), and after the forming operation they are withdrawn through the opening.
- the protrusions of the metallic mold (1) are above it and the upper and lower plungers (2) and (3) which have in common the center line of the metallic mold (1) and the metallic mold (1) can freely move on a transfer truck (16) in the direction perpendicular to the sheet of paper of the figure.
- the bottom flange of the metallic mold support (4) will contact the protrusions of the metallic mold (1).
- the transfer truck (16) has upward protruding pins (15), and they fit into the holes (14) of the metallic mold (1) to position it correctly.
- the lower end of the transfer truck (16) has rollers (17), which roll back and forth on the transfer rails (19) and the positioning rails (7).
- the transfer truck is also shaped as shown in FIG. 5 like the letter U laid flat on its face to give an opening for the lower plunger (3) to pass through.
- a metallic mold (1) and upper and lower plungers (2) and (3) to replace a previously removed set move on the transfer truck (16) through the opening of the U-shaped metallic mold support (4) into the metallic mold support (4) and their center line is aligned with the center line of the metallic mold support (4) and the transfer truck (16) stops at the correct position by coming against the stop (18) placed on the positioning rails (7).
- the metallic mold support (4) is raised by the hydraulic cylinders (5).
- the engagement of the pins (12) and the holes (13) guides the protrusions of the metallic mold (1) to place it correctly on the metallic mold support (4).
- the metallic pattern (1) and the upper and lower plungers (2) and (3) are lifted off the transfer truck (16), and the truck (16) is shifted to the left in FIG. 2 out of the machine.
- the metallic mold (1) on the support (4) is fastened to it by the advance of the hydraulic cylinders (10) and wedges (11), and after this the metallic mold support (4) is lifted up to mount the upper plunger (2) on the pressure block (8). Then the metallic mold support (4) is lowered until the bottom of the lower plunger hits the bottom face of the frame (6). With the lower plunger (3) on the frame (6), the former is fixed on the latter with the bolts, etc. This concludes the installation of a new metallic mold and the plungers.
- the removal of the metallic mold (1) from the machine follows the steps as described above for the installation of a new one in the reverse order.
- the metallic pattern and the upper and lower plungers are assembled with their center lines in alignment at a place out of the machine.
- Positioning of the metallic mold and upper and lower plungers can be effected automatically and accurately.
- the invention provides an improved forming machine for bricks, etc. which has shown significant benefits in actual operation.
